Rockhampton Mayor says SE Qld 'doing it tougher'

Rockhampton Mayor Brad Carter has offered his support to communities affected by flooding in south-east Queensland.

The Fitzroy River remains at a major flood level of nine metres, hundreds of homes are still inundated in the city, and more than 150 people are still staying in Rockhampton's evacuation centre.

But Councillor Carter says communities in the south-east are facing a tougher situation than Rockhampton.

"At this stage we haven't had any loss of life, at this stage we haven't had homes washed away, at this stage the impact, while devastating for those that have suffered significant water inundation, we do recognise that there are other communities in the state that have probably done it harder than us," he said.
